Please Come Home

Everyday that passes,
brings the moment near.
While inside my heart is breaking,
and being swallowed by fear.

I'm afraid to watch you leave,
afraid to see you go.
I love you more than anything,
this i want you to know.

I'm trying to be strong,
keep the pain at bay.
The harder I try, I realize,
there just isn't a way.

I close my eyes and take a breath,
as the tears begin to fall.
Once they start, they won't stop,
until i get your call.

I just want you to come home,
to be back here with me.
Without you in my life,
I just couldn't be.

I just want you back in my arms,
where I know your safe.
I try to laugh, I try to smile,
I'm trying to be brave.

The dull ache in my heart,
makes me lie awake.
Each second that passes by without you,
causes my strong facade to break.

Just please come back,
please make it home.
Without you in my life,
I'll forever be alone.
